O’S ULLIVAN Introductory Note: If you plan on doing well in any of Professor Shea’s classes, you should really consider going to class every day, taking flawless notes, and being very, very prepared. Professor Shea will test you on law that you have not read about in the textbook. Professor Shea will ask you about law that he seemingly only mentioned under his breath, probably while you were in the bathroom. If Professor Shea says something in class, it is the controlling law. If he cites a case in class, write it down, it will be on the final. Oh, and CONGRESS CANNOT LEGISLATE FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE.
